The Bsstrop advertiser published five
days after the Kentucky elections con-
tinues to repeat the democratic joke OF
80, 900 to $4,000 majority, when there 10
no assurance that there is substantial
majority at all. The democrats have
doubtless carried the state by the SKID
OF their teeth, but at least twO-thirds or
their usual majority has gone where the
woodbine twineth.
THAT new French rifle, the Lebel, Ia q
holy terror. 1t carries small conical
bali one and q half miles, penetrates an
eight inch brick wall at 800 yards, goes
right through q man at the distance OF a
mile, has no recoil, emits no smoke, ls
repeater, and each soldier can carry 2CO
rounds, so small are the cartridges. The
powder used Ia a French article, the
manufacture OF which is kept national
secret.
GALVESTON enters the list as a oandi-
date for big drill location next spring.
San Antonio has SHE'D her castor into
the ring for next May. This fact assures
Texas the greatest drill competition
ever held In any state. The old Alamo
city Is giving her time, and money and
attention to this thing and what she
does is always well done. When she
does not do, however, she Ia very still
bird on her home nest.
1T is amusing to note the cOmplais-
ancy with which the average country
journalist In Texas divides the voters
into democrats and cOlored people. This
distinction IL maintained by few So
called representative democratic jour
nails also, who class all who voted
against the Economically submitted
prohibitory amendment as democrats.
1t does not affect the truth that there
are few thousand white voters In Tex
as who always vote right on every ques-
tion affecting the interests OF Texas.

WHERE is YOUR BOY?

During the heated campaign Just
closed In this city, there was one fact
peculiarly noticeable. This was the
ubiquity OF the small boy. He was
present In overwhelming numbers at
every public gathering, and as noisy as
he was unnecessary. 1t is safe to say
that the great majority Of these boys
have mothers, and these mothers are
simply opening the doors to their boys
Obstruction by permitting them to roam
the streets at night unattended. Minors
are the special care Of the state. When
orphaned, the state assumes guardian
ship, either In person or by proxy.
These night hawks of the streets and

fiuence OF curb stone teaching and gut.
ter-snipe morals by their parents, the
state should interpose Its authority
The LIGHT as public teacher, a teacher
that is OF public morals, insists that the
state laws against minors in saloons be
enforced In this city. The laws on the
statute book are plain, comprehensive
and far reaching enough to meet all re.
quirements OF the statutes on
this point. Now let these laws
be rigidly enforced, with all other
regulations necessary to make the ss-
looms OF this city what the law intended
they should be-reputable places where
men could go and drink in moderation
and enjoy their liberty as men to control
their own actions without becoming a
menace to the peace and security OF
their neighbOrs, Then having enforced
these laws let the city pass an ordinance
restraining children Of certain age from
running the streets at all hours Of the

Now THAT prohibition has gone for
this time let those who would work for
practical results exert themselves to Sc
cure an enforcement OF proper reguls-
tions. Minneapolis retail liquor dealers
have formed an association to see that
the laws respecting their business are
enforced. They offer to cooperate with
the city authorities TO suppress the sale
Of liquors illegally and see that laws
are obeyed. Last year the saloon Ii
eense was $780, and the revenu from
that source WAS $l67 900. This year the
license is $1,000 and the revenue will be
$4,000. Let San Antonio and sll Texas
enforce the laws against illegal conduct
OF the retail liquor traffic. Let the law
abiding dealers aid In the work and pro-
hibition will be dead. The carrying Of
this snti.smendment fight does not mean
unbridled license. 1t means protection
Of our rights under the constitution.

US have liquor selling according to law.

A FREE BALLOT.

Boycotting men for voting is not an
any. 1t does not matter what the OPP
probrium OF the vote, 1t cannot Justify
any inquisitiOn into the action Of the
citizen In casting his ballot. The sacred
ness Of the ballot box cannot be over
riden, and the man who assails that as
rhe rights Of citizens under the
constitution. The character Of the vote
cast cuts no figure. That Is matter
with which no man may NEEDLE. To
attempt any inquiry into the nature of
the ballot cast is contrary to the very
spirit and temper and genius Of Ameri-
can institutions. 1t is only thus that
the freedom Of the ballot can be preserv-
ed. That final act Of passing upon all
questions submitted to the American
people is above criticism. When the
democratic legislature OF Texas passed
the act submitting this prohibitory
amendment to the people, and
1t was signed by the governor 1t
became law. When the election
warrants were issued and ballots called
for, the character Of any mans ballot
became his own secret, Individual, per-
sonal affair with which his best friend
has no concern. The LIGHT took strong
ground against the amendment because
1t did not believe 1t wise or just, or in
agreement with the fundamental prin-
ciples Of republican government. 1t
takes equally strong ground against any
Interference with the ballot, no matter
how exercised. The men who voted for
prohibition exercised their franchise
right in legal way, and In doing so are
under the protection OF the laws The
sscredness Of the ballot cannot be as
sailed without endangering the privi-
Ieges OF citizens. Judges and clerks OF
election have no business to disclose the
nature Of any mans ballot. The man who
casts ballot should have the courage
OF his rights and refuse to answer any
impertinent questions concerning the
exercise OF his privileges as a citizen.
The threat to boycott prohibitionisls in
this state or county or city had better
be let out to grass. The season is too
dry Tor such boycott to sprOut.

night. Ifpsrents won't keep their boys
at home then compel them by ordinance
to keep OFF the streets after certain hours
unless accompanied by some older mem
bers of the family, or by responsible per-
sons having them in charge. This street
running Is the worst OF all habits your
boy can form and Ia the widest of all
wide gates that lead him to destruc-
ton. Let the Open-vOiced and large
hearted men and women who have been
preaching an unsuccessful crusade
against liberty to men who are of age
to control themselves, now take the
stand against the prevailing evils of
street running by children OF compare
lively tender years and they will
find help, cOmpOrt and good backing by
many ants. The LIGHT does not be-

freedom of the citizens, but ii does be-
lieve in the education Of the children.
pulsory restriction from street running
after night. The time to form the child
is when he Is young. Teach him to be
Obedient to parental authority as a
child, and he will be obedient to state
authority as man. Teach him to gov
ern himself as boy and he will not need
that every man shall be shackled be-
cause he is not at liberty to run at large.
The parents OF this city are the proper
guardians OF their children, but II they
will not restrain their children from
sources which lead TO destruction, then
must the state do so. Until boy arrives
st his majority and is invested with his
manhood rights according to law, he Is
minor subject TO parental or guardian
restraint, and II is the duty of the state
to see that such authority and guardian
ship is exercised, at least to the extent
of preventing the public corruption OF

BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four, years of age on
the 18th inst In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in a physician who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received lit
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blOtChes, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
liniments, etc. Finally, we called other ply
sicians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 10th of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLvENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally Y, and
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the ResOlvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half of bottle of Cuticura ResOlv-
ent, Il little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of Cuticura Soap.
